If oyu plug a device in that needs an IP address and has no user interface it is going to have to get the address from somewhere. One has to assume DHCP. Look on the DHCP server and see what address he gave it. It has to be reocorded there so as to prevent issuing duplicates. bill -- Bill Gunshannon | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n.

Mind you, I don't necessarily endorse the approach, though it may be suitable for ad hoc servicing, test-benches, etc. The cobbling together of DCL, command-line (generally record-oriented) utilities into a TCP/IP server environment just generally isn't suitable for production-level deployment (IMO). You wouldn't try to build an FTP server from DCL and COPY so I don't understand why you would try to do it with an arguably as-subtle, extensive, and sometimes complex a protocol as HTTP. I can understand Richard Maher's reluctance to install a significant package of software (such as Apache or WASD) to provide the content of a handful of files to some in-house application. Nevertheless, it would be better done with a dedicated native image than the motley collection of out-of-the-box utilities that VMS can lend to a task such as this (assuming that Richard would be just as reluctant to install something like Python or Perl specifically for the task - environments that incidentally would eat an application such as this for morning tea and still go out for pay-day lunch). Too bad the C language is so substandard, otherwise I might make public the WEBER.C utility which does just this. Anyway, after a couple of hours of (probably) reinventing wheels I ended up with the enclosed DCL procedure (obviously just a variation on Richard Maher's original). It works for me: HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.6 on a Digital Personal WorkStation running OpenVMS V8.3 YMMV. NOTES ON THE PROCEDURE: ----------------------- o Its quick and dirty (based on the original template) and thrown-together to prove the point rather than be production software. o Check the TCP port the service is created against. It was selected to minimally disturb my test-bench system and may not suit yours. o The service /LIMIT must be appropriate to the number of concurrent requests that need to be serviced (when exceeded the client just gets a connect reject - not very informative). This is pertinent to HTML pages with embedded resources serviced from the same source. o The DCL source has been indented and occasionally reformatted to suit the way I like to look at them. It's doesn't necessarily reflect anything else. o It contains some extraneous stuff that crept in as I experimented with what it could and couldn't do. I think two aspects of it are important though: 1) The different behaviours for VAR/VFC and then the other types of record format file. Some assumptions have been applied. 2) The use of the EXCHANGE utility to try and avoid carriage-control issues so prevalent in other DCL utilities. o It has been tested against a ssh/telnet Java applet serviced on a number of my sites via WASD. http://javassh.org/space/start I modified them ever so slightly to accomodate this DCL file server. (BTW: This free package provides a very functional, in-browser VT-1nn/2nn/3nn emulation, amongst other things.) The applet JAR is 240 blocks (120kB) in size. Obviously larger than those reported to be problematic for MSIE. o It serviced the above applets HTML file (VAR), the applet .JAR (fixed 512), and the configuration file loaded by the applet (VAR). o It worked with (WIN32) Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 2.0 and MSIE 6.0.blah.blah, with Java 5.0 o It downloaded multi-kilobyte VAR and STMLF HTML files, the browsers rendering the content correctly. o It has also been tested downloading and correctly displaying a ~2,800 block document VMSBOOK.PDF and a 353 block image CCUMA_60_DAYS_ACTIVITY.JPG (amongst a swag of other experimental transfers). $!-------------------------------------------------------------------- $ server_user = f$edit(f$getjpi(0,"username"),"trim") $ home_dir = f$trnlnm("sys$login","lnm$job") $ set default 'home_dir $! $ create http_server.com $ deck $!(seems noticably to improve performance) $ set rms /buffer=255 /block=127 /network=127 $ open /read /write net sys$net $ read net httpcmd /time=10 /error=end $ method = f$element (0 , " " , httpcmd) $ path = f$element (1 , " " , httpcmd) $ show symbol /all $! $ if method .eqs.

An artificially created (and actually non-existant) "glut" that has resulted in a serious shortage of qualified IT people in the US that has resulted in more off-shoring and more demand for green-card labor from the likes of Bill Gates. And CS/CIS enrollments in Universities are down and continuing to drop even though 5-8 (depending on which survey you read) of the top 10 paying jobs for recent graduating under-grads are in the IT professions. Which is, of course, (along with a serious dis- illusionment with academia) why I am looking to leave academia and return to the real IT world for the last part of my working life. Anybody in Georgia need a really good COBOL/Fortran/Pascal programmer? Oh yeah, I also do C and Ada. And I have been know to do Algol, PL/I and even Basic.
